During this course year our students worked with the overarching theme of INNOVATIONS. During this course students worked to understand innovations using the subunit topics of Technology, Medicine, and The Law. Our overall unit understandings included innovations arise in response to needs, innovations challenge established beliefs and traditions, innovations have consequences -both intentional and unintentional, and changes brought about by innovation can be both positive and negative. Each subunit students gained a deeper understanding of these concepts, as well as topic specific unit understandings.
